Özet:

Old Uyghur Buddhist literature contains many works in different genres and subjects. Among them, the texts of confession have an important place. According to Buddhist belief, confession texts were produced to purify non-clerical people from the sins they have committed in their current and previous lives. There are several confession texts in the Old Uyghur literature, such as Kšanti kılguluk nom bitig [The Book on How One Should Practice Confessions], which are associated with the Buddhist corpus. In addition, there are also fragments on confession in Old Uyghur that cannot be determined due to the lack of context, which text is a part of today. In this regard, this paper focuses on Old Uyghur fragments that have not been published before and whose main subject is the confession of sins. All the fragments included in the article are preserved in the Berlin Turfan Collection with the following archival numbers: U 2236 (T I 527; T I), U 2315 (T I 504; T I), U 2425 (T II 537), U 3009 (T II Toyoq; T). II T 501), U 3123 (T II Y 59; T II Y 59.500), U 4866 (T I D 638), U 5350 (T I). This study consists of these seven fragments’ transcription and transliteration, translation into Turkish, notes, and dictionary including the index.
